Free will is not a power; the Lord says so.

"Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is
still according to my power," says the Lord.

It had me meditating.

And then came the answer.  For example…

"Chance" has no power in and of itself, yet it is something; it is just
"possibility," no more.

You toss a coin. Has "chance" the power to make it a head or a tail? 
"Chance" has no power over making it a head, any more than making it a tail.

So it is with free will and choice.

Your "choice" has no power, just like "chance" has no power; all the
power is God's alone. If you think you do have power, you are right in
the thick of an illusion in a fallen world.  And, while you're at it in
your fantasy world, would you mind adding an extra heartbeat to the
number I have been appointed?

Thanks.

is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

Mechanical or methodical salvation is just more Pharisee bureaucracy.
Men are saved after their conviction, death sentence, and resurrection
in baptism--the baptism of the Holy Spirit." - Nightbulb

is the love of God."
